CAN CANCER BE CURED.

COUNT MATTEI CHALLENGES THE D;o:oters. i

A very interesting artile appears in the Jsnuiry number of the R_vi~w or Bxrujr* on the subjeot ot the most terrible of ql* disuses, "Oanoer." The medioal faculty have hitherty plainly declared it to be "inourable." What a horrible significance that word has I Oount Mattel, an Italian nobleman, olaims to bave oured oanoer not in one but in many instanoes, He is a rioh man who began a oourse of solentiflo study at middle age, and the first olne to his alleged wonderlul medioine is said to have been arrived at by watohiog a sheepdog afflioted with a virulent attaok of mange, Tbis dog absented itself daily, and ouriosity led Mattei to follow it ; when he fonnd that it made tor the mountain and there sorstohed np and ate a partioular root. Mr Btead, the editor of the Rbview ov Bevikws, heard bo muoh from persons oi note as to tbe effioaoy of Matter's treatment, that in the publio interest he went over to Bologna to interview the oount, and relates the result of his researches. Should Oount Mattel's speoifio prove to be all that is claimed for it, il will no doubt beoome sb greal a publio boon as the famous St. Jaooba Oil, whioh has effeoted so many marvellons oures in oases ot nervous affeotions, suoh as rheumatism, neura*3ia, musoular oonatusiooa, tea, St. Jaoobs Oil has beoome a household world throughout the civilised world, and haa been the means of rescuing thousands from pain a?d misery. All tvho have tried it agree that it is a valuable domeatio remedy that should bave a place in every well-regulated household.
